But when you do good and suffer for it, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before GodIn this paper well look for a response from the Christian and Muslim scriptures to the question of human suffering through the story of Job, and examine it for validity and coherenceBut God does not operate that wayFurthermore, it placed God at a very far remove from humankindHe laments the injustice that God lets wicked people prosper while he and countless other innocent people sufferYet in the depths of perplexity and despair he made one of the most profound declarations of faith recorded in the Bible: Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him (13:15)(2008)Believers talk about trusting in the Lord with their whole heart and refusing to lean on their own understandingOne widely espoused, although inconclusive, theory suggests that the book's prologue and epilogue evolved from an ancient oral folktale, perhaps dating back to the semi-nomads of the second millennium B.CIt touches the core of existence; it probes to the root of the problems of good and evil, the destiny of man, the meaning of friendship, the wisdom and goodness of God, and the justification of suffering." Plot and Major Characters Critics divide The Book of Job into three sections: a prose prologue (1:1-2:13), a poetic dialogue (3:1-42:6), and a prose epilogue (42:7-17)Critics approaching the work from a secular perspective, however, have commented that the popular image of Job as an example of faith and patience actually ignores the fact that he is depicted as a rebellious and even blasphemous figure in the central poetic section of work(1949)He also accuses Job of being self-serving, trying to make God look unjust in the eyes of the heavenly hosts for not punishing a sinner like JobThey think his questions are crafty and lack an appropriate fear of God, and they use many analogies and metaphors to stress their ongoing point that nothing good comes of wickednessThe date of the books writing may be much later that the events recorded withinHe says, that biblical rebel should never have given inIn the course of one day, Job receives four messages, each bearing separate news that his livestock, servants, and ten children have all died due to marauding invaders or natural catastrophesWhether one wanted to or not, whether one clearly understood or not, one found oneself immersed from birth in a bath of Christianity from which one did not emerge even at death e0ec752d1c
